Not sure if you're fully gemmed and enchanted? Run your character through our character planner for a report.

Bear in mind that the following enhancements are all the ones you should consider using and are not in order of usefulness. Follow the secondary stat priority linked here for what specific enchants and gems you should be using for your current gear.

Enchants

Three gear slots can be enchanted with Legion gameplay enchants: necks, cloaks, and rings. There are also shoulder and glove enchants which canassist with professions, but weapons in Legion do not have special enchants.

Without a Garrison-like system in Legion, players must acquire their enchants from Enchanters. For crafters, recipes in Legion require different quest chains,and once completed, enchants can be made at low levels. Learn more about Enchanting in our Legion Enchanting Guide.

Gem sockets have a small chance to be found on all gear in Legion, including raid bosses, world bosses, world quest loot, and dungeon loot. Rings and neckscrafted by Jewelcrafters have a 100% chance to have a socket.

Food

Currently, the best food are the feasts (Herzhaftes Festmahl being the cheaper, Üppiges Festmahl von Suramar being the stronger), provided you switch to Windwalker spec before eating.Otherwise, these will provide stamina, which is not a stat we want. We highly prefer the agility. For a list of other foods that are also useful, check below.

Food can be crafted by any player with the Cooking profession that has learned the Legion recipe from either questing or Nomi's Discovery Table in Legion. Learn more about acquiring recipes in the Legion Cooking Guide.
